Magnus Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 Xavier and I are pleased to announce a new website about CM named Appui-Feu ( means "support fire" in french ). You can find it here : http://appui-feu.panzershark.com It will focus on the Free French forces and will provide original scenarios ( thanks to Joel Montagu, a CM beta tester ), as well as historical and tactical articles. Also, don't miss our logo featuring a tweaked screenshot from Steve Grammont himself and our galleries ( you'll find one in which a lone GI take out a Panther at 20m distance ! ) For now the site is only french but for those who are interested in the History of the Free French we plan to make an english version as soon as possible. We would appreciate any comments about the site layout in order to improve it. We will also welcome anyone speaking french and willing to help, or simply wanting to take part to our forum. At last, we would like to thank Panzershark who kindly allowed us to integrate his domain ! Best regards, Magnus PS : Moon and Carlos Lorenzo, you will find on the site articles from you, translated in french. If that offend you, please report it to me and I will remove them immediatly.

PawBroon Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 Magnus, Glad there is some French in that forul. I was starting to believe that I was pretty much alone. You can count me in for whatever you need in menial tasks. That is, translating, Web things, Forum and MOST OF ALL Free Frenching all wannabe contenders.

Lindan Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 Hmm, if there would be some feedback, I'd do my page in English AND German. Just to add another language to the pool. As there is not so much content on my page by now this could be easily done in, let's say, two days. Any suggestions? Good Idea? Not worth the effort? just wondering... <hr> ------------------ visit lindan.panzershark.com member of the Combat Mision webring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 BTW, how many of us french in here? Enough for a serious contribution or something? ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 Linden, we think it is a great idea. The second biggest game market out there, after the US, is Germany. Or so we are told We really would like CM to reach more German gamers. Having a language friendly support site is the best way to do this, for any language. We will also, at some point, translate CM into German and French. No timeframe for this, but we really want to make it happen. Thanks!

Xyphorus Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 Congratulations on the Website. It looks great and for sure add some cultural exposure to CM. PawBroon: Count me in; I live in the US now, but I am born in Nantes. Does it still qualify as being French? Bonne chance avec le nouveau site.

Jeff Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 I'm surprised and happy to see so many speaking French people interested in CM. BTS do you have a plan as for translation of CM in French or is it just a wish so far ? CM rules ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin Demon Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 I give that sight deux thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 Thanks for your enthusiasm BTS. Should you need some helpful hand in the process of translating the game and/or the manual just ask. And yes Xyphorus, being born in France and having joined the Free French abroad certainly do qualify you as a Frog. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 7, 2000 Author Share Posted June 7, 2000 Thank you all for your kind words, it means much to us I'd like to say again to all french speakers around here, that their contribution will be welcomed. We especially seek people who have good knowledge of the Free French History And, again, thanks to BTS for their encouragement and support Best regards, Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 Magnus, Have you compiled a list of us Frenchy in here? Would be a good start to know that and to plan something once that number is know and once we have determined how much are willing to help and in what way. For short: If you're French or bugged enough to pass for one let yourself be known... ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 I propose to all the good-willer to subscribe at the forum of Appui-feu (I open a new topic called 'Bienvenue à bord') so we'll be able to chat each other with our wonderful language . It will be more easy for me too because my english isn't so good Thank you les gars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 9, 2000 Author Share Posted June 9, 2000 Announcing 2 more scenarios for CM to be available the day the game start shipping. One scenario features elements from the french "2e division blindée" in Lorraine, the other take place 15kms East of Marseille. Screenshots included...
